As this weekend was my mum's birthday, I decided to carry her BYSak for a couple of days.

1908, P48, Wenger Delémont tang stamped

It's really an impressive tool :climber:

Day 289

Forges L & C Vallorbe Soldier '1908' model - 1908

It obviously has the scales of an 1890 model but due to the clip-point blade I'm calling it a 1908. Due to the fact its sharing these features with both I'm going to assume it must have been one of the first 1908 models made by this knifemaker. There surely must be an interesting story behing this knife but as usual we are left to guess and wonder :)

Very very nice  :salute:

Here you go!

Elsener Soldier '1951' model - 1953

Funny thing, it has 5 army control stamps. 1 WK, 2 very clear circle+cross and 2 much fainter circle+cross. All "on top" of each other.
I realize i dont have many 1951 models... Still missing a Grilon... I wish someone would post one of these

Gorgeous pictures for an awesome knife! These are so robust and feel so steady in one's hand. Drawback is the weight...

When the book THE KNIFE AND IT'S HISTORY was written on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Victorinox I ordered one and the knife came with the book.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Actually, the 1908s marked Victorinox or Wengerinox are civilian models with stainless steel blade (and tools?) as opposed to the army's carbon steel.
These civilian models were accepted during controls of soldiers' equipment...
This 35P specifically has no army control stamp on the front scale and I'm really wondering where it got the 35 from. Did they maybe stamp these knives after controls?

I know - dad was ‘35 and mom is ‘37. My dad didn’t even see his 50th and passed from a brain tumor. But those two years will be buys of opportunity if they pop up!  :tu: :cheers:

Nice ‘53...there is a Wenger ‘57 Grilon on Ebay right now.  Wish it was a ‘56, and I would have bought it myself so I would have a matching BYSAK by both! :tu:

Is there an explanation or theory on the multiple control stamps?

Not the same knife,  the one i saw was stamped Vallorbes not Vallorbe and had a different blade, real nice knife though and if my eyes weren't watering looking at the price i would probably have bought it   :D

According to this website, https://www.couteaux-du-soldat-suisse.ch/J01/index.php/en/les-couteaux-du-soldat/poincons-speciaux , the additional stamps were added after repairs. The examples show 2 cross-in-circle on top of the WK stamp.
On my piece maybe the first pair stamped was too faint so they did it again. We can ser that the WK was there 1st.
